PHILLIES TV SPONSORS GETTING RESTLESS?

TV sponsors for the Phillies are "getting restless -- and
they might be in line for rebates," according to this morning's
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. Phillies VP/Marketing Dennis Mannion said
no sponsors have pulled out, but "we have quite a few in a sit-
and-wait pattern. We weren't naive. We knew it would come down
to this." WPHL-TV GM Randy Smith said his stations are working
with each Phillies sponsor to sort our any problems that "might
arise because of decreased ratings" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER,
2/17).
